Santander Brazil introduces a unique credit card tailored for microbusiness owners
The Brazilian market is abuzz with the latest financial offering from Santander – the MEI card. This innovative product is designed specifically for individual microentrepreneurs (MEIs) to help manage their business expenses more effectively.
Santander has partnered with major wholesalers like Sam's Club, Sumirê, and Via Varejo to offer discounts on purchases made with the card. The card is not only a tool for managing finances but also a means to save on business-related expenses such as buying stock, food payments, and transport costs.
The MEI card offers a range of benefits, including discounts on the purchase of materials and supplies, computer products, and professional training courses. The card is free of charge for holders who spend at least R$100 per month.
Santander card machines are available with better conditions for individual microentrepreneurs, and purchases made with the card can be concentrated and organized on a single repayment date, providing convenience and ease for business owners.
To obtain the MEI card, customers need to open a corporate current account, either online or at a branch. The card limit can be managed via the bank's app and reassessed depending on the customer's relationship with the bank and whether they make timely repayments.
Rogeiro Panca, head of Cards at Santander, stated that the card offers discounts on business-related purchases. The card also entitles holders to an additional two cards, providing flexibility for business operations.
In addition, MEI cardholders can enjoy cashback of up to 10% and other promotions with more than 40 partner stores on the Esfera website. The MEI card service was previously targeted towards companies with a bigger turnover but is now available to all Santander customers.
A grace period of three months is provided for the package of services, giving microentrepreneurs ample time to explore the benefits of the MEI card. For precise and up-to-date details on discounts, partnerships, and how to access them with the Santander MEI card, I recommend visiting Santander Brasil’s official website or contacting their customer support directly.
The MEI card, offered by Santander, is not only a tool for managing personal-finance but also a means to save on business-related expenses such as purchasing supplies, computer products, and attending professional training courses. Cardholders can enjoy additional benefits like discounts on business-related purchases and cashback, making it a valuable asset for microentrepreneurs in the business scene.
